    That's a good thing surely? Give Apple's patent trolling carry-on, it's now a feature you'll never be able to see in another phone. Buy Android and film Obama :eek: to your heats content.

    Also that patent you linked is for a mango tree. Yep, a mango tree.

    "A new and distinct variety of mango tree (Mangifera indica), `C-20` which is distinguished by the production of heavy and consistent crops of fruit which are 454 g average weight, oblong with a bluntly pointed apex and a large lateral beak. `C-20` has a low and spreading growth habit with excellent disease tolerance and a small and manageable mature height of 457.2 cm. The skin color is bright yellow with a pink or crimson blush; thin, tender and adhesive skin, and a maturity date for harvesting and shipment of approximately mid June through July in South Florida. The flavor is excellent, rich and aromatic, with a strong component of coconut cream, a creamy smooth texture with no fiber or stringiness, a brix of 21% and a long flavor-life in storage."

    What's even more interesting is that of the 47 comments on that Alex Jones piece, no one there notices it either. It's almost as if those conspiracy theorists are just sitting back and happily swallowing any kind of rubbish that's spoon fed to them by the multi-millionaire Jones.

    Why would a mango need a beak? I can offer two theories:

    1. This mango will be used by the Illuminati to assassinate critics in their own homes, their arteries severed by the mangos with these 'large lateral beaks'.

    2. The beaks will allow the mangos to parrot pro-NWO/Obama propaganda in places not normally accessible to agents of disinformation - kitchens, refrigerators, shopping baskets.

    *disclaimer: these theories may contain traces of speculation

    It disables the camera on the phone at concerts so people cant upload the recordings or video to the internet.This was news over in the music production forum about 2 years ago I believe.

    You do know there are other phones out there besides an Iphone and I'd say jailbreaking the iphone will eliminate this feature if it ever gets adapted into the phone

    Apple Granted Patent To Disable Cameras According To Location, recording, communicating during protests, political events could be restricted

    Just in time for up and coming social unrest, police brutality and martial law in the run up to and after the US presidential elections.

    Could Obama be behind this one too. :eek:

    Patent PP22,989

    maybe the mango tree changed your wireless signal ? eek is it? :eek:

    I fookin knew it!
    "They" got cams in the damn tree's aswell.

    Aside from the mango conspiracy.
    Heres the patent most likely.

    Apparatus and methods for changing one or more functional or operational aspects of a wireless device, such as upon the occurrence of a certain event. In one embodiment, the event comprises detecting that the wireless device is within range of one or more other devices. In another variant, the event comprises the wireless device associating with a certain access point. In this manner, various aspects of device functionality may be enabled or restricted (device "policies"). This policy enforcement capability is useful for a variety of reasons, including for example to disable noise and/or light emanating from wireless devices (such as at a movie theater), for preventing wireless devices from communicating with other wireless devices (such as in academic settings), and for forcing certain electronic devices to enter "sleep mode" when entering a sensitive area.

    I just searched the patent number that was stated on info wars.

    Some people are so lazy they dont even do any research and believe a Ct is about mango trees :p

    Oh the Irony hehe.


    also, could this be a sign the info wars is as i believe a CIA type media outlet?
    Giving part of the truth but muddying the waters once again.
    Or just a simple mistake that nobody in the world picked up on..as of yet?
    Probably the latter, but i still think they are a CIA branch.

    Last edit!
    I do think the fact that all the comments on the Jones sites are about the Ct and nobody pegged the mistake is quite telling.As well as that so called skeptics fell for the same thing.Once a belief system is confirmed enough in their eyes they will carry on without looking into it.

    Just saying we all need to be more careful with judgements off the bat.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,940 ✭✭✭Corkfeen


    Even if this feature was implemented. You could simply turn off the GPS and take the photo..... Anyway I now have a craving for a mango. RTDH, I can't help but think that you don't read most of the links that you post, how the hell did you not notice the mango tree patent?

    I don't get the logic of people leaving their GPS on permanently, t'is a massive power drain.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,831 ✭✭✭Torakx


    I guess its got the future in mind rather than the present.
    Technology is moving very fast.It wont be long before there will be insanely power batteries on phones constantly hooked up to internet and wifi points everywhere.

    In such a scenario it could be used for all sorts.
    Personally im not sure how serious it is compared to what else is going on right now,but with the future in mind, it has the potential to be misused.

    But the interesting thing is that none of the morons who commented on the Infowars site had the critical ability or the enquiring mind to realise that the patent was for a mango tree. These are the people I think of as "CT fans" - blindy believing something because they want it to be true.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 27,349 ✭✭✭✭super_furry


    It's actually quiet scary and gives credence to the Cult of Alex Jones and those who seek to emulate his particular brand of hysteria. There's now 78 comments on that story and not a single one has picked up on it. The irony is that the self same people would criticise everyone else for a lack of critical thinking, research and for just blindly following the herd.

    To be fair to RTDH he did link this patent,not the mango tree

    Honestly i see it going both ways quite evenly.
    Maybe you guys dont see it because you assosciate with the opposing side to the average CT.

    I do the see "cult of Alex Jones", i also see the "cult of mainstream media".
    Just two polar opposites.
    Accept there are alot more of the latter because that form of media is currently prevailent.

    Had it been the other way around the "cult of Alex Jones" would be the dominant "strain" of neurosis.

    I have seen some things CT related that are very obvious, but its strongly denied and posters will make all sorts of arguements to maintain their beliefs, even resorting to talk of the devil it seems just to stay off the topic to confirm their bias, maybe even unconsciously for themselves.

    I experienced this in the Obama personality cult thread recently for example.

    It highlights to me Brownbombers thread on Ct'ers being homogenous.
    Its all about the ego and whatever belief system it is protecting.
    the brain/mind has filters to help this process and information can easily slip by or be ignored outright.

    I used to argue about how obvious it was god existed LOL
    I understand i fall prey to bias aswell, but at least alot of the time i recognise this flaw and try to compensate.

    With the thread topic in mind though....
    The Ct is relevant.
    My first thoughts were of the cinema shootings recently in the states.

    And clicking on his link takes you to...?
    The blocker for iphones cameras


    What is claimed is:

    1. A base station apparatus comprising: a transceiver module adapted to communicate with a client wireless device; a first module adapted to detect that the client wireless device comprising a first set of functions is within a first range; a second module adapted to identify one or more modifiable portions of the first set of functions; where the identification of the one or more modifiable portions of the first set of functions is based at least in part on received client wireless device information relating to the one or more modifiable portions; and a third module adapted to cause at least one of the first set of functions to be modified based at least in part upon the first module detecting that the wireless device is within the first range and the identified one or more modifiable portions, and to cause notification for a user of the client wireless device to be provided via the client wireless device; and wherein the modification of the at least one of the first set of functions is performed after said notification.

    Its the registration database right?
    When you get an iphone you have to register it with apple.they have your personal details


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,029 ✭✭✭shedweller


    This patent doesn't surprise me in the least. I recall some talk a while back about some way of disabling the camera sensor if it takes a picture. Either it didn't work out in testing or it will be used alongside this new version of preventing pictures being taken.

    I also live in ireland so I wouldn't care about the FBI

    But it should be noted,just before ye lose the run of yourselves
    It should be noted that most of the information provided in the leaked data sets are commonly available to iOS app developers as a requirement for push notifications, among other uses...

    Also this is a claim,It hasn't been proven.Its just someone saying they did this or am I reading this correct

    Okay so they want to stop people from taking certain pictures with Iphones but obviously regular cameras will be fine.
    It was for the reasons mentioned above by myself.to stop people putting videos of bands performances or songs online.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 211 ✭✭nuub


    yeh the infowars one is for a mango tree and in all honesty everything on that site has to be run through a bulls**t filter.But besides the patents I have copied below Apple doesn't stop there. In the terms and conditions that everyone agrees to with Apple you don't own the song you buy on Itunes by law you only rent them and Apple have the right to take them back at any time...Below is the link to about the mp3's and a copy and paste of the patent about the "wireless devices"

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dmcWqV1B13I



    United States Patent 8,254,902 Bell , et al. August 28, 2012 [SIZE=+1]Apparatus and methods for enforcement of policies upon a wireless device [/SIZE]

    It should be clear to you.

    Governments can commit crimes. Cameras can record evidence of crimes. If a government was to commit a crime, say Bloody Sunday, and shutdown the ability of some witnesses to record evidence of said crime then the possibility of justice is lessened.

    My bad I quoted a quote in the comments.
    So has this been proven or is it simply a claim still?
    I see the FBI are denying it and the Antisec guys want a journalist to paost a picutre of himself wearing a tutu with a shoe on his head in order for them to release more details.

    I'm not convinced.
    Could they just have hacked someone from Apples computer?

    This is presuming everyone owns an iphone right

    But Iphones arent the most popular phone in America at the moment

    http://gigaom.com/mobile/samsung-strikes-back-galaxy-s-iii-outsells-iphone-in-u-s/

    http://articles.latimes.com/2012/apr/03/business/la-fi-tn-comscore-google-android--smartphone-market-20120403

    So its more probable that someone will have an android phone than an Iphone.

    So theres a huge flaw in that argument
    Like really big flaw

    The fact that apple only have 30percent of the market share for phones and android has over 50% and growing.
    Wouldn't they target the market leader to have this technology.

    The scenario you described of the goverment doing a crime and shutting down iphone recordings has more chances of succeeding if they installed this feature in android operating systems not iphone,so the odds are that someone will record it

    Right, but none of that shows a flaw in what I said, which is (I'll number them, tell me which point is false:
    1. Governments can commit crimes.
    2. Cameras can record evidence of crimes.
    3. If a government was to commit a crime, say Bloody Sunday, and shutdown the ability of some witnesses to record evidence of said crime then the possibility of justice is lessened.

    I'm not saying that they are actually doing so, but either you take issue with being under surveillance or you don't. Which is it?

    To be fair, introducing something in future iPhones and thinking, 'right, we can commit crimes with impunity' would be a very, very bad way to proceed - people going to protests are more likely to have non-Apple phones in the first place (so that's about 70% of all people not covered) and of course plenty of people would have normal cameras anyway, especially if attending a protest or something.

    So why bother introducing something to deal only with the threat of being caught doing something dodgy on an iPhone?

    But introducing it to an OS that counts for only 30% of the phones being used isn't a flaw in that plan?
    I'll conceed that if we break down what you said your right you didnt state that this will eliminate all recordings of said event but its basically implying this is what its going to do

    so lets get off the fence again

    Are you giving credence to this theory,do you believe this is its sole purpose??Has this been pushed through to do this,to let people get away with crimes

    Normal cameras cannot stream footage on line instantaneously, if there is going to be police brutality carried and they suspected it being caught on camera they can round up suspects confiscate them or delete footage.

    In the case of the Mavi Marmara, a number on board managed to get footage out by removing their micro sd cards from their phones.

    Someone mentioned that your camera could not be disabled if on flight mode. I am sure they would come around that one by blocking the signal according to coordinate settings.

    Normal cameras cannot stream footage on line instantaneously, if there is going to be police brutality carried and they suspected it being caught on camera they can round up suspects confiscate them or delete footage.

    In the case of the Mavi Marmara, a number on board managed to get footage out by removing their micro sd cards from their phones.

    Most phones cant do this either directly out of the box,you need a 3rd party app or website to do a live stream.

    As for the coordinates,if gps or tagging is turned off they can only track you when your making a call.
    So your speculating

    As for having GPS on all the time, battery lives on phones are not improving so forcing the consumer to have GPS on will decrease sales for the company who choices to do so. Plus my Android is perfectly capable of uploading footage.... Plenty of far more hidden devices for recording than your mobile phone btw....

    They can't?? Really? And the Apple can? I suppose I'm wasting my time asking you to back up this claim?

    Strange that the NWO missed that trick.

    So why bother blocking streaming in the first place if they can just block the cell signal? :confused:

    It almost doesn't make sense...
